Research Abstract

Prototypes of the wide-filed X-ray imaging camera utilizing a hole mask and X-ray CCD camera have been developed and tested. The hole mask consists of a Cu foil with a hole pattern with a minimum pixel size of 35 micrometer processed with a picosecond laser. The prototypes are put in a vacuum chamber and illuminated with X-rays from radio isotopes. The FITS format are used to store image data. The results are published in popular science books as well as in conferences and meetings.
